I really can't believe this story is true, but I hate to say it, if I had a kid test positive (at that young age), it would be over my dead body he/she would be removed from me.
If you don't want your kids locked up, dont have them in HK right now. |
Reality

you still get separated and your small child will be tied to the bed chest, ankles and one wrist |
The only way 'out' is to abandon ship. Get your family and kids out of HK asap either way, even if you can't stomach changing jobs personally.
The problem with Cathay pilots is most of them have been there so long, been through some excellent high paid years, and still seem to think Cathay is the world's best gig. Which it was, until 2 years ago. Now CX is a shadow of it's former self, and will NEVER improve. Every day you stay there is a waste of your life. GET OUT! or don't, not my problem. |
17000 new local cases today.
Still adhering to dynamic zero. |
If you still think this is about COVID you are living in the past. Look around the world at current events to see the way that new lines are being drawn. Do you really want to be stuck behind those lines when the main event kicks off? COVID was a warning shot, don’t let these lost years be for nothing.

I don't know where you're going with that but I'm readying my tin foil hat.

With the way Putin is carrying on I’d say the end of the world IS nigh.

Which begs the question, when in a month or so the infections inevitably peak and start to drop and meanwhile they have built 100k isolation cells, will they go right back to unscientific and overzealous measures like 21-day look backs, three-week quarantine for inbound travellers, two weeks in PB after being discharged from hospital etc? Unfortunately this all seems more bound up in ideology and face-saving rather than rational epidemiological control. |
main_dog nails it.
How do you think things will play out when cases reduce, and now they have huge concentration camps built in HK? It's not rocket surgery. Things will only get worse under China's zero covid idiocy. MUCH worse. Get out while you can. Additionally, it's time to choose sides, a la 1939, regarding the Ukraine. China appears to be with Russia on this one. It won't end well. |
34000 cases today, wow.

Well, it aint too rosy, but sure we can say better things are ahead. Just like the same can be said for Ukraine and Myanmar. The difference will be what your perception of 'better things' is. After the riots, things definitely have not been better for HK citizens......it becomes a new normal. |
Funny, with Russia blocking its airspace to many countries, can you imagine the amount of business we'd get if we were actually flying anywhere.
|
At today's press conference:
Q: Are you still going to continue with "Dynamic-zero Covid" strategy? Dr Au: Yes. And once we get the cases under control, we're going to bring back all the things we used to do, like aggressive contact tracing and compulsory testing. FFS |
Exactly. Like main_dog said.
It's not going to change any time soon in Hong Kong. Stockholm Syndrome for those who remain. |

The news for Hong Kong just keeps getting better. The US has just placed a “Do Not Travel” advice on Hong Kong.
